Mini snippet…
It’s so hard to figure out what to post from this that isn’t going to spoil things. I mean, like really hard.
But…I like this bit. It’s not a sexy bit. But it makes ya wonder…
“Maybe I’m just crazy,” Shay muttered. “Aw, hell. This was a waste of time.”
“No. It wasn’t.” Elliot stood there and continued to stare at the door. “She’s scared. Didn’t you see it?”
Due out tomorrow…

Do you know what I’m up to today? I’m hanging out at Fiction Vixen‘s place, with more loot! I have LOOT! Come…help me hide my LOOT! This time it’s from Carolyn Crane. And she has a weird computer. Things do…odd…I mean really odd stuff on that computer.

Just a few more days…
A mini snippet from STOLEN…
Tears burned her eyes but she blinked them away. Filing the email, she put the phone down and covered her face with her hands.
Can you tell us what happened…?
No…
She sat there and shuddered. Do you remember…
No. She didn’t. But a part of her was trying to, and she really dreaded the day those memories finally crept into the open.
Have you checked out the blog tour? Lots of prizes!
Some Qs:
Will this be in audio?
I have no idea. I just now had my first audio deal and I suspect future audio deals depend on a book’s popularity. I’m very far from the point that audio is a given. I won’t know until/if an offer is made.
Will this be available digitally in the UK?
Yes! This time, I knew, in advance, there were going to be odd things with the UK digital distribution so I prepared. You can preorder it now via
I think it’s available for preorder on the iBookstore, but I can’t check that.
Is this connected to another series?
No. I know it kind of looks like it might be, but it’s not at all related to the Ash books.
So those are the Qs I’ve gotten asked a lot.
Just a word of warning…this book is pretty dark. The heroine went through hell and she’s probably even more screwed up than Devon from FRAGILE. If you want a nice, safe read…this isn’t it.

Sorry for the website issues…
Rough week-health issues, dealing with contracts, etc, didn’t realize the domain issues were needing to be dealt with.
Fixed now (although there might be another blip later on) and I owe people a Saturday snippet.
Anyway… snippet…
This is from an untitled RS that’s been contracted with St. Martins. I can’t tell you anything about it, because it’s not done yet, and I can’t tell you when it will be released, either. I can say it’s part of a new RS series…more along the lines of Fragile or Broken, though, then the Ash books, but still set in a small town. Beyond that, no info.
“Trinity.” His voice sounded firm and level, a fact that surprised him to no end, because he was terrified. “Damn it, open your eyes and look at me.”
Her lashes fluttered.
She moaned.
Then, slowly, she opened her eyes and stared at him. “Noah…?”
“Yeah. Don’t move yet. We need to know if you’re hurt.”
She swallowed. “I’m not. Well, my head a little but…” She groaned again and sat up, ignoring him when he told her again not to move. She reached up, touching the back of her head. “You cussed. Preachers don’t cuss.”
Noah didn’t bother asking where she’d heard that—it was Madison, she probably knew what size shoes he wore. “I’m not a preacher anymore, Trinity. Be still for me, okay, honey? I’m going to come down there, make sure you’re not hurt.”
“I’m not.” Her voice was grouchy and she sighed. “I’m pissed off. There’s a hole in my floor, Noah. A hole. Shit, now there’s two holes. And you didn’t put this one there.”
She went to go to her knees.
The bottom of his stomach dropped away as she froze and went white—white as death itself.
“Trinity?”
“Noah…”
Her voice broke.
Following her gaze, he found himself staring.
It took his mind a minute to process it—another to adjust. Trinity was whimpering by the time he got down there, carefully, unwilling to take his eyes off the gruesome discovery.
He touched her shoulder and she hurled herself at him, burying her face against his neck.
He didn’t blame her. He didn’t want to look, either.
But he couldn’t look away.
Nothing could make him look away from the odd, almost mannequin like display stretched out on the dirt floor. It’s not real, some part of him thought. It couldn’t be real.
Parts of it were nothing but bone. That wasn’t the worst. The worst were the almost flesh-looking parts, bits that looked a strange, grayish-white.
“Tell me that isn’t a person,” Trinity said, her voice low and soft. “Please tell me it isn’t.”
Noah wished, more than anything, that he could do that.
Instead, he just cupped his hand over the nape of her neck.
In the back of his mind, he heard the words… Come on, Noah…come with me…

Today is a ramble… I hit up Devon Monk this time

Win some of the goodies I…ah…acquired…LEGITIMATELY!!! When I…um, accidentally fell into her house. Yeah, that’s it.
Totally legitimate, right?
Okay, carrying on. Prize to award…

A snippet from STOLEN…just a few more days!
“Do you need anything?” he asked.
“Yes.”
He stopped and turned, facing her, his hands hanging loose at his sides. “What?”
“Stop moving around so much…and…” she licked her lips, closed her eyes. Then, taking a deep breath, she asked, “Would you maybe just sit with me for a while? I mean…I know you and I aren’t together anymore, and maybe you don’t have anything left in you for me, but I’m feeling kind of…”
“Shay.”
She opened her eyes.
He came toward her and stopped just a breath away. One hand came up and cupped her chin. And as those whiskey-gold eyes met hers, all the pain and chaos and misery inside her fell away and once more, she was lost. But it was okay, because she was lost inside him, and that was where she wanted to be, where she needed to be.
“You think I don’t have anything in me for you?” he murmured, lowering his head so that the words were whispered against her lips. “Baby…everything I have in me is for you. You’re my everything. You are it for me. I knew that months ago. And it was killing me that you wouldn’t let me in.”

Night Blade release date
The plan is tentatively for Night Blade release the first week of March.
I’m trying to space things out so I can… hopefully…get more work done on Broken Blade, because…um. Well. Never mind. That’s the plan.
Here… snippet!
“I had to take care of something outside of the city,” Damon said and his voice was a low, rumbling growl.
I heard that tone often enough. It was anger. Not that icy edge I’d seen earlier, but there were a lot of varieties of anger. And I’d faced this one of his before.
He’d figured it out—thought past the mask of Xavier’s cloaking.
“Kit.”
I turned around and I saw it in his eyes.
He knew.
As he came up off the chair, he shook his head. “I’ve been trying to place it all fucking day and it wasn’t until just now that it clicked. You said you had to work with somebody who…what, cloaked? What the fuck is that?”
“It’s what it sounds like, Damon,” I said levelly. The hell if I’d lied. Lies had never come easily to me anyway and if I even tried, he’d know. “I’m working a job. I’m doing the best I can and I can’t talk about it. Let me work it, let me finish it and I’ll explain.”
The roar echoed around the room. Echoed…echoed…until I thought my ears would burst from it.
“Kit. Were you following me?” he demanded.
“I’m working a fucking job.”
A muscle jumped in his jaw. “Is that the only thing you’re going to say, damn it?”

And Today… I’m over at…
The Book Tart. What are we talking about today??
Just remembered… don’t tell Vivian anything that might help her find me. Although, if you do, I’ll just remember that Vivian scares easy. I’ll be fine.

Final day…contest ends tonight
Wrapping up the contest for an angel’s wing today.
The contest is for the release of BLIND DESTINY.
There was a fun review posted…sharing a snippet of it…
Again I said this would be quick but go grab it and read… the shower scene alone is such a tease and hot hot hot.
Apparently she likes what Luc does in the shower. I’ve had so many comments about this one, I’m just going to post some of it. The preview is on Scribd. You’re welcome to share the preview.
Also, because I’ve been asked this a lot… because of the way I write these books, basing each tale off a fairy tale, the series works fairly independent of each other. You can read them out of order, with the exception of I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU, the bridge book between books 2 & 3.

Today is the day…
I start spreading the loot around. Want to get in on it?

She might send Draco after me. Today’s prize?
Come join us…read about the STOLEN blog tour. I’ve got goodies galore, and so many secrets…
STOLEN… not long now
I’ve uploaded a free preview to SCRIBD…you can read it here or go there. You’re welcome to embed it on your blogs, share the preview, etc.
Be warned…this one is pretty dark. Shay has a lot of trauma and isssues. :)
